Block Overlay Mod 1.8.9 simply changes that selection to 4 available overlays: none, default, outline, and full. In regular Minecraft, a thin black line shows which block your mouse is currently pointed at.
Features:
Use the interface to:
- Select the overlay mode.
- Change the color and opacity to your preference.
- Change the width of the overlay outline.
- Choose whether to always render the overlay or not (A new button which is labeled as ‘Always Render’ is added. Typically when you are in adventure or spectator mode, the block overlay is not rendered by default. activating this button will change that, and always render the overlay regardless of what your gamemode is).
